Little Tinkie (who turned out indeed to be a African Yellow White-eye) was set free on Thursday morning. We released him in our back-yard and he flew straight into the big tree where I always see the other White-eyes so we're sure he'll be fine. It was such a pleasure to raise him - he was truly my little baby. Tinkie used to love it when Pierre scratched his head and neck (see photo below). When Tinkie arrived, he could not even fly yet and now he's out and about, doing what birds do. We wish you all the best little Tinkie - we will miss you very much.
My name is Elna Louw and I live in the middle of the African bush on a copper mine site in Lumwana, Zambia. My husband Pierre is the Finance Director for the project. We are South African and have been expating since 2000. Over the past 9 years we have lived in Tanzania, Australia and now Zambia. Before we left SA I was employed by Ernst & Young Johannesburg as a Project Manager. I loved my job but being out here in the middle of nowhere (or is it the centre of the universe) is fantastic. This blog is about my life here.
